AVDP EP43 | Supreme Court, Gay Marriage, Confederate Flag, Orange is the New Black

Yury has a new job, and had a birthday. Then we go down the rabbit hole of the various Supreme Court Rulings about gay marriage and Obama care. Big week!

People are actually defending the confederate flag over, I tried my best to understand why and the best they can tell me is that it’s a icon of southern pride. Kinda like a Nazi flag is a symbol of German pride? Just let the flag go, you lost the fucking war.

I got duped into trying DirectBuy. It is a membership based direct sales warehouse. Think of it like Sam’s Club except for furniture. I have been a member of Sam’s Club for years and there is nothing shady about it and I totally understand the business model. Is this any different? I will report back.

White Chicks 2 is being released. In this movie two black actors put on white face paint to pretend to satire white valley girls. I am bothered because black face is such a huge racist act (even though I think taking offense to it is very overblown) and white face is totally acceptable. That is a huge double standard when if someone wants to dress up as Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black in a totally non-racist way that is a huge racist deal. Meanwhile a this movie is a vehicle specifically to make fun of white people, and face paint is used, and no one cares?

Our thoughts on Orange is the New Black, favorite characters and seasons. We also discuss if the show is a comedy or not.
